Hoping Poplar is popular

Got 6 old poplar logs about 16-20 inches in diameter. I need benches right now and I am out of any significant ash logs which are my favorites. When I cut open this poplar log I was pleased that it had spalted. Maybe not quite as pretty as ash, but I like it. The legs are what’s left of my wider ash slabs.

You come up with the most interesting poplar. Love the way you incorporated the big knot in the seat and back. I really don’t think people consider whether it is walnut,poplar,or pine when they go to buy it. Sad but true!

That is a GOOD looking bench, Monte. In fact the back rest looks almost exactly like the slab I have that the wife wants for a coffee table, only hers is an aromatic cedar . . . smells wonderful. I just have tofigure out what to put undr it! :D
